If you’re new to article writing, you might be feeling a little overwhelmed and looking for directions on how to get started.

The thought of starting an article writing and marketing campaign may seem like a daunting task, but if you take it one step at a time, it becomes much more manageable.

In this video, I’m going to share an 8 step process for writing and submitting an article. Whether you are sitting down to write your very first article set or you’re an article marketing veteran, this process can help you come up with great article ideas and work through writers’ block.

Here’s a recap of the steps from the video:

Choose a Topic – Think about the niche or market in which you have experiences. Remember that article ideas are everywhere, so embrace the niche you’re writing in to find ideas.

Develop a Title – Have a working title in mind to help direct the flow of the article. It may or may not be the final version of the title if you find new information you’d like to share while writing.

Create an Outline – Build the main points of the article and supporting details. The outline doesn’t have to be completely written out. In fact, it could just be something you are visualizing in your mind.

Write an Introduction – An attention-getter is a great way to start an article. Think about why your audience will find your content relevant and what will hook them into reading the entire article.

Convert Your Outline to the Article Body – Expand on your outline to construct the body of the article. Remember that the format you present your information in is an important part of getting your message across. Main points can be broken into separate paragraphs or created as bullet points.

Write the Conclusion and Resource Box – Wrap up the main points from the article in the conclusion and answer any lasting questions you think a reader might have. The Resource Box is where you give more information about yourself to the reader and instruct them on what to do next.

Review Your Article – Become familiar with the Editorial Guidelines so you can be sure your article follows our required standards. Proofread the entire article for typos and misspellings.

Submit Your Article – Log into your My.EzineArticles.com account and select the Write & Edit tab which will automatically open to the Submit New Article form. If you have any questions, click on the blue “?” (Help button) within each section of the submission form for an in-depth explanation.

Whether you’re a veteran author or an article marketing newbie, use this strategy now to write and submit a set of high-quality, original articles for more traffic back to your website. Leave a comment to share your own writing process and how it works for you.

Hello friends
Before anything, a heartfelt thanks for the directions that send the novice writer, as is our case.
Much is learned from them. Well, life is a continual learning.

Good advice on how to write and submit articles. I know that many people like Mike above have difficulty summarising all the information researched. Just remember your article should have a beginning, middle and end, and be no more than 500 words.

This post on submitting good articles really demonstrates one thing. Good writing has certain elements that must be present in an article to give an effective message. There is no magic, just practice and revise.

Excellent tutorial you have made this simple precise and down to earth.
I have been struggling with writing so these points will be very helpful in getting rid of the writters block and assist with structure.
Many Thanks

Is there any way one can convey to marketers to refrain from forwarding thousands of videos to look at waisting tonnes of valuable time. My view is that videos are for illiterates and hell of a frustrating to watch, especially for people who’s work entails lots of reading and writing. Most of the videos can be summarised in writing taking 10 seconds to read. I do not even touch the time it takes to download. Please save us from these videos.

Thanks for the video and tips on how to write and submit articles. Never thought of structuring the articles first then only convert the outlines to body. I would normally write as ideas come into my head. It’s easy for me that way because I don’t have to put much thought into my articles. I guess that is why sometimes I go a bit off topic.

I have written and published 3 articles so far on your site but was struggling to come up with new ideas. This video is excellent it has given me a fresh injection of inspiration in the way I write and the sort of angles of articles I can produce. Many thanks for the wonderful support and training material you provide.
